Roles within mooting

<movie>file=/video/mootingcomplete/RolesWithinMooting.flv|width=512|height=288</movie> The mooters clarify how the roles of junior and senior pan out (no - the junior is not the senior's whipping boy!).

Big issues covered include:

Importance of teamwork;
Consistency wins points;
Cross-referencing arguments with aplomb

Role of the judge

<movie>file=/video/mootingcomplete/RoleOfJudge.flv|width=512|height=288</movie> This clip sees you introduced to the knee-wobbling horror that is judicial intervention. Hopefully it will reassure you somewhat that everyone is a little daunted (OK terrified) of the judge questioning you and putting you off your stroke.

Our brave mooters cover the following:

What demeanour to adopt
Different types of judge (don't forget to see our accompanying guide Know Your Judge for more on this)
The perils of trying to 'read' judges
How effective your response to a judge's question can be

Sharing good (and bad!) experiences

<movie>file=/video/mootingcomplete/GoodBadExperiences.flv|width=512|height=288</movie> A warm cuddly 'sharing experiences' clip complete with top tips on:

Balancing your emotions
Remembering to conclude - don't just fade out (See our live example of this in Top Tips)
Not over-thinking

Ahhhh...it's good to share (Thanks ryancr - flickr.com)
